What can I do during a Venmo outage?

Use Cash App or Zelle as backup

During Venmo outages, Cash App or Zelle can handle peer-to-peer payments as temporary alternatives.

Pay with PayPal directly

Since Venmo is owned by PayPal, you can use PayPal for payments if Venmo is experiencing issues.

Queue non-urgent payments

If payments aren't time-sensitive, wait for Venmo to recover rather than using less convenient methods.
